Oscar Symposium ~ February 2007

OSCAR SYMPOSIUM
with your host Nathaniel R and very special guests
February 2007

February 15th, 2007 Welcome to the 2nd Annual Oscar Symposium @ The Film Experience. Last year I kicked things off by asking a few friends and a couple of strangers to join me. I was thrilled with all of their contributions. Each year the roster will vary. I'm proud to introduce to you this year's stellar contestants ["Applaud"]. For the next few days we'll be having a lively and possibly inappropriate conversation swirling around everyone's favorite naked gold man. Enjoy, Nathaniel R (your host) DAY 1 / DAY 2 / DAY 3 / OUR BALLOTS Got something to say after reading? Comment on the blog
